Battle of the Planets

If you are a Sit & Go player on PokerStars, you probably already know all about the Battle of the Planets leaderboards. Sit & Go players are ranked on one of 16 leaderboards every week, and the top ranked players win cash prizes. Every week PokerStars gives away $52,000 in prizes!

Battle of the Planets has been a huge success, and PokerStars wants to thank its players for participating every week. As a result, they have doubled the Battle of the Planets prize pools for the week of August 7th! Play in Sit & Go tournaments between now and August 13th for the chance to win part of a $100,000 prize pool.

For the chance to participate for free, make a deposit into your account using the code “BOTP”. This will get you a free $7 Sit & Go ticket! You must deposit using the specified bonus code before the end of August 13th.

Battle of the Planets is divided into 8 different divisions based on buy-in so that players of all bankroll sizes can participate. Each division is named after a planet in our solar system. For example, the lowest buy-in division features Sit & Go buy-ins between $1.00 and $2.99 and is called Mercury.

Furthermore, each division has two leaderboards: Low Orbit and High Orbit. This is done to prevent high volume players from having an advantage over low volume players.

Low Orbit leaderboards are for those that play fewer than 100 tournaments per week. To be ranked on this leaderboard, you only need to play a minimum of 20 Sit & Go’s. The High Orbit learderboards are for those that play at least 100 tournaments per week.

Everyone can use a little extra money!

If you are a tournament player and enjoy Sit & Go’s, this is your chance to make some extra cash since all the prize pools are doubled. The Jupiter division, which features buy-ins $300 and up, usually awards $1,500 for first place on its leaderboard. This week it will award $3,000 to its winner!

That’s not all you’ll win, though. Every week PokerStars also enters the top 10 on each of its leaderboards into the monthly Battle of the Planets triple shootout! This exclusive freeroll has a monthly prize pool of $50,000, giving you the chance to win even more money for the bankroll.

The chance to get into the triple shootout freeroll is there every week, but the doubled leaderboard prize pools are not. The money is twice as much for just this week, so start playing those Sit & Go’s ASAP!
